INTRODUCING GATEWAY CLOUD RIP
Raster image processing software (RIP) converts artwork files so that printers can understand and print them. Our Cloud RIP does this process in the cloud then sends the correctly formatted file directly to the nominated printer for automatic production.
In simple terms, our cloud RIP helps make your printers run better and provides a single interface for almost all on demand printers.
In the past people have either used the RIP that comes with a specific printer, or purchased them outright. Our cloud based model is different as we charge per job, rather than an upfront cost. This has several important advantages:
Single RIP will cope with almost all decoration techniques & prints
Rapid return on investment as easy to identify time & efficiency saving on each job
Lower capital investment needed to improve printer performance
No upgrade costs – RIP constantly update to accomodate new technology
Print modes and media types are already set up for you so less time wasting tweaking your RIP
